artist,  born  in  Florence,  in  the  year  1500,  and  died  there,  Febru- 
ary 25th,  1570.  The  best  of  his  artistic  works  are  his  smaller 
productions  in  metals,  the  embossed  decorations  of  shields,  cups, 
salvers,  ornamented  sword  and  dagger-hilts,  clasps,  medals,  and 
coins ; but  the  most  celebrated  specimens  of  his  skill  in  these 
branches  of  art,  in  which  he  showed  himself  a close  student  of 
Michael  Angelo’s  works,  are  a richly  ornamented  salt-cellar  in  the 
Imperial  Gallery  at  Vienna,  and  a magnificent  shield  at  Windsor 
Castle.  Of  his  larger  works,  the  bronze  group  of  Perseus , with 
the  head  of  Medusa,  in  the  Piazza  del  Gran’  Duca  in  Florence,  and 
his  Christ , in  the  Chapel  of  the  Palazzo  Pitti,  are  the  most  promi- 
nent. There  is  a fine  electrotype  copy,  in  the  Art  Gallery  of 
Vassar  College,  of  a silver  dish,  now  in  possession  of  the  King  of 
Prussia,  wrought  by  Cellini  in  low  relief,  representing  the  Battle 
with  the  Amazons.

fered the  charge  of  the  New-England  School  of  Design,  which  he 
accepted  ; and,  at  the  end  of  three  years,  the  term  of  his  connec- 
tion with  the  school,  he  went  to  Europe  and  studied  in  Paris  and 
Brussels.  On  his  return  home,  he  opened  a studio  in  New-

415.  Incredulity  of  St.  Thomas.  Copied  from  the  picture  of 
Guercino  in  the  Vatican.  Giovanni  Francesco  Barbiera  Guercino 
was  born  at  Bologna,  1602.  After  studying  some  time  at  Bologna, 
he  went  to  Rome  on  the  death  of  Guido.  He  died  at  Bologna 
in  1666. 

416.  Madonna.  Copied  from  Carlo  Dolci’s  original  picture 
in  Rome.  Carlo  Dolci  was  born  in  Florence,  May  25th,  1616, 
and  died  there  January  17th,  1686.  He  excelled  in  small  pic- 
tures. The  themes  in  which  he  was  most  successful  were  bor- 
rowed from  the  New  Testament. 

417.  la  Vierge  de  Foligno.  Copied  from  Raphael’s  original 
picture  in  the  Vatican  in  Rome,  Italy.  Sigismond  Conti,  of  Folig- 
no, private  secretary  to  Pope  Julius  II.,  having  been  miraculously 
preserved  from  a thunderbolt,  vowed  to  consecrate  a picture  upon 
the  altar  of  the  Virgin,  to  whose  protecting  care  he  attri- 
buted his  salvation.  It  was  to  accomplish  this  vow  that 
Raphael,  by  his  command,  made  this  picture.  The  per- 
sonage kneeling  on  the  right  is  the  donor  of  the  picture.  Be- 
hind him  is  St.  Jerome,  represented  as  a cardinal,  who  presents 
Conti  to  the  Virgin.  On  the  left,  kneeling,  is  St.  Francis  of  As- 
sisi, in  the  attitude  of  prayer;  and  near  by  is  St.  John  the  Bap- 
tist, who  points  to  the  Virgin,  throned  upon  clouds,  amidst  glory, 
surrounded  by  angels,  and  holding  the  infant  Jesus  in  her  arms. 
In  the  centre  is  a little  angel,  holding  a tablet,  destined,  without 
doubt,  to  receive  an  inscription,  which  was  either  forgotten  or  has 
been  effaced,  as  at  present  no  traces  remain.  The  original  was 
executed  in  1511.

Having  received  a few  lessons  in  water-colors,  he  devoted  him- 
self thenceforth  to  landscape  painting,  and  his  third  picture,  a 
view  of  Greenwood  Lake,  in  New- Jersey,  procured  his  election 
as  an  associate  of  the  Academy  of  Design,  of  which,  in  1850, 
he  became  a full  member.  In  1847,  ill-health  compelled  him 
to  visit  Europe,  wThere  he  spent  three  years  in  close  study  of 
his  art.  Among  his  most  successful  productions,  after  his 
return  to  America,  are  the  SibyVs  Temple , and  American

church  in  France,  and  one  of  the  greatest  local  interest.  Its 
architecture  reaches  from  the  tenth  to  the  sixteenth  century.  It 
was  long  the  chief  seat  of  Benedictine  religious  power,  and  from 
its  precincts  went  forth  the  finest  editions  of  ancient  classics  ever 
published.  Often  desecrated  and  shamefully  mutilated,  it  was 
restored  by  Louis  Philippe  as  in  this  picture  portrayed.

Elliott,  Charles  Loring,  born  in  Scipio,  1ST.  Y.,  in  1812.  His 
father  was  an  architect  by  profession.  He  made  his  residence 
in  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  during  the  childhood  of  his  son,  where  he 
placed  him  in  the  store  of  a country  merchant ; but  seeing  that 
he  was  unfit  for  a mercantile  life,  allowed  him  to  study  draw- 
ing and  architecture.  Young  Elliott  soon  went  to  New-York, 
and  became  a pupil  of  Trumbull.  After  about  a year’s  resi- 
dence in  New-York,  he  returned  to  the  interior  of  the  State 
and  practiced  his  profession,  painting  portraits  for  about  ten 
years.  Returning  to  New-York,  he  established  himself  there 
as  a portrait-painter,  and  for  a long  time  stood  at  the  head  of 
his  profession.  He  died  in  Albany,  August  25th,  1868.

19.  Glamis  Castle . This  illustration  of  Shakespeare’s  master- 
piece was  composed  from  the  most  authentic  materials.  The 
castle  is  more  modern  than  the  date  of  the  tragedy,  but  the  Nor- 
man entrance  is  contemporaneous.  The  rustic  cottage  is  charac- 
teristic of  old  Scotland  ; and  the  wayside  cross,  at  which  the 
Benedictine  is  kneeling,  suggests  the  chief  means  of  all  mediaeval 
culture.  The  tranquillity  of  the  hour  in  which  Duncan  and 
Banquo  go  to  their  fearful  fate  is  well  indicated.  Away  on  the 
left  is  the  antique  shrine  of  Jonu,  the  earliest  source  of  salvation 
to  northern  barbarians  and  final  resting-place  of  Macbeth’s 
victims.

Eastlake,  Sip  Charles  Locke,*  an  English  painter,  born  in  Ply- 
mouth, in  1793  ; studied  under  Fuseli,  at  the  Royal  Academy, 
London,  of  which  institution  he  was  made  President  in  1850, 
after  having  given  evidences  of  proficiency  in  his  art  by  a 
great  variety  of  pictures,  of  which  his  Christ  weeping  over  Jeru- 
salem, his  Escape  of  Francesco  di  Carrara , and  his  Pilgrims 
arriving  in  sight  of  Rome  are  the  best.  He  visited  France, 
Italy,  and  Greece,  and  then,  settling  for  some  time  in  Rome, 
painted  many  pictures  illustrative  of  Italian  life.  Among 
his  early  paintings  is  an  interesting  portrait  of  Napoleon  I.,  as 
he  appeared  on  board  the  Bellerophon ; and  the  most  famous 
of  his  poetical  pictures  is  an  illustration  of  a passage  in  By- 
ron’s Dream.  In  1850  he  was  knighted,  and  in  1855  was 
appointed  Director  of  the  National  Gallery,  with  a salary  of 
<£1000.

and  after  a year’s  probation  was  admitted  as  a Royal  Academy 
student.  Neither  prizes  nor  medals  fell  to  his  share  as  a stu- 
dent, and  for  several  year,s  his  pictures  were  rejected  at  the 
Royal  Academy  and  British  Institution  exhibitions.  It  was 
oniy  after  six  years  of  hard  study  that  he  obtained  a place  for 
a picture  in  the  exhibition  of  the  Royal  Academy,  and  his 
works  only  began  to  attract  notice  in  1820,  when  the  artist 
was  thirty  years  of  age,  and,  as  he  himself  has  said,  “ having 
exhibited  nine  years  to  no  purpose.”  In  1828,  he  was  elected 
academician,  while  in  the  same  year  the  Royal  Scottish  Acade- 
my testified  its  high  appreciation  of  his  talents  by  purchasing 
the  most  important  of  his  efforts,  the  historical  work  illustrat- 
ing the  history  of  Judith  and  Holofernes.  Testimonials  so 
high  soon  had  their  effect ; Etty’s  pictures  came  into  great 
request  and  brought  large  prices.  He  always  cherished  a love 
and  reverence  for  York,  his  native  city,  and  had  retired  there 
some  time  previous  to  his  death,  which  took  place  on  Novem- 
ber 30th,  1849.

Herring,  John  Frederic,  an  English  painter,  born  in  Surrey,  in 
1795.  His  taste  for  painting  seems  to  have  been  incited  by 
the  sight  of  the  St.  Leger  race  at  Doncaster,  whither  he  had 
gone  in  search  of  employment.  His  highest  ambition  was 
thenceforth  to  paint  a race-horse,  and  for  eighteen  years,  part 
of  which  time  he  was  the  driver  of  a stage-coach,  he  perse- 
vered in  his  efforts,  until  he  achieved  a reputation  in  this  class 
of  subjects  second  to  no  one  in  England.  In  his  later  years  he 
enlarged  the  sphere  of  his  subjects  and  executed  scenes  of  the 
barnyard,  in  which,  although  the  horse  was  still  the  promi- 
nent object,  many  other  animals  were  introduced.  Many  of 
these  were  extensively  known  through  engravings,  which  have 
considerable  popularity  in  the  United  States,  where  some  of 
his  best  pictures  have  also  been  exhibited.

Roberts,  David,  was  bora  in  Church  Lane,  Stockbridge,  Edin- 
burgh, in  1796.  He  was  apprenticed  to  Beugo,  a house-painter, 
and  devoted  all  his  spare  time  to  sketching  from  nature.  After 
finishing  his  apprenticeship,  he  seems  to  have  turned  his  atten- 
tion to  scene-painting.  The  first  pictures  he  exhibited  appeared 
in  the  Exhibition  of  Works  by  Living  Artists,  at  Edinburgh, 
in  1822.  He  visited  Spain,  the  Holy  Land,  Syria,  Idumea, 
Arabia,  and  Egypt,  also  Italy  and  other  parts  of  Europe,  the 
result  being  stores  of  sketches  and  studies,  from  which  he  pro- 
duced numerous  highly  interesting  and  successful  illustrated 
works  and  painted  many  effective  pictures.  He  died  suddenly, 
in  London,  on  November  25th,  1864.

having,  in  1839,  gained  the  Newdegate  prize  for  English 
poetry.  Immediately  afterward  he  devoted  himself  to  the 
study  of  art,  and  published  in  1843  his  first  work  on  art,  under 
the  title  of  Modern  Painters  ; their  Superiority  in  the  Art  of 
Landscape  Painting  to  all  the  Ancient  Masters.  By  a Gradu-

Stanfield,  Clarkson,*  an  English  painter,  born  in  Sunderland, 
about  1798.  In  early  life  he  followed  the  sea,  acquiring  there- 
by a knowledge  of  marine  scenery.  His  works  comprise  almost 
every  kind  of  landscape,  but  as  a painter  of  sea  pieces  he  has 
an  enviable  reputation.  As  an  imaginative  painter  in  the 
same  department  he  produced  many  striking  works,  including 
his  Wreck  of  a Dutch  Fast-Indiaman  on  the  Coast  of  Holland , 
The  Victory , bearing  the  Body  of  Nelson , touted  into  Gibraltar , 
The  Abandoned,  the  sentiment  of  which  Ruskin  characterized 
as  “ very  grand,”  and  The  Battle  of  Trafalgar.  He  is  a pro- 
lific designer  of  illustrated  works,  and  is  perhaps  the  most 
popular  of  English  landscape  painters.

Trumbull,  John,  an  American  painter,  born  in  Lebanon,  Ct., 
June  6th,  1756;  died  in  New- York,  November  10th,  1843. 
During  the  Revolutionary  war  he  served  as  a colonel,  but  left  the 
army  in  1777,  and  went  in  1780  to  England,  where  he  studied 
under  Benjamin  West.  The  excitement  occasioned  by  the  exe- 
cution of  Major  Andre  led  to  his  arrest  and  imprisonment  for 
eight  months,  but  he  was  finally  admitted  to  bail  by  a special 
order  of  the  king  in  council,  on  condition  of  quitting  the  king- 
dom within  thirty  days,  West  and  Copley  becoming  his  sure- 
ties. He  painted  several  large  pictures,  as  Priam  receiving  the 
Body  of  Hector^  in  possession  of  the  Boston  Athenaeum;  Bat- 
tle of  Bunker  Hill  / and  Death  of  Montgomery  before  Quebec: 
and  in  1817  he  was  authorized  by  Congress  to  fill  four  com- 
partments of  the  Rotunda,  on  which  he  was  engaged  a greater

January  17th,  1863.  Louis  Philippe  was  his  warm  admirer, 
and  among  other  commissions  which  he  gave  him  was  an  order 
to  paint  for  the  palace  at  Versailles  a series  of  large  pictures 
illustrating  the  triumphs  of  the  French  armies  in  Algeria. 
Conspicuous  among  these  are  several  episodes  in  the  siege  of 
Constantine,  The  Capture  of  the  Smala , The  Battle  of  Isly , 
and  The  Capture  of  Bougiat , which  are  not  only  among  the 
largest  pictures  ever  painted  on  canvas,  hut  are  perhaps  un- 
equaled as  spirited  and  faithful  representations  of  battle  scenes. 
His  portraits  are  numerous,  and  include  those  of  Napoleon  I., 
Louis  Philippe  and  his  sons,  and  Napoleon  III.  He  stood  at 
the  head  of  his  profession  in  France,  and  was  decorated  with 
many  of  the  orders  of  continental  Europe.
